It was a warm fall night in 1991 and my college buddy was coming to pick me up to go to a party. She pulled up in the driveway of the house I shared with 4 other friends. When I ran out to get in the car a handsome guy got out of the passenger side and pulled his seat forward and climbed in back. Hmmm - who is this handsome guy I was thinking (I was also telling myself to "knock it off" because I had a boyfriend). I learned his name was Andrew and that night a friendship began.
Fast forward to December 1992 . . . I'm home from college for Christmas break and I run into Andrew while hanging out with my best friend Candy. Candy comments, "Introduce me to that guy, he's cute." That comment was all it took to make me realize, I like this guy (nothing like a little jealousy to get you in touch with your true feelings). I dropped the hint that I didn't have a boyfriend anymore, Andrew asked me to the movies, and we were married 8 months later.
Last month we celebrated our 14-year anniversary. I'm so thankful for that fall evening in 1991. Andrew is a wonderful husband and father. He's humble, funny, easy-going, dedicated to his family, hard-working, loves to serve, never afraid to share the gospel, dedicated to daily scripture study, and non-judgmental. A matter of fact, he's so humble he's going to be embarrassed that I exposed all his goodness on my blog. But, that's the price you pay for being so wonderful!
I'm so thankful our paths crossed and Andrew and I became "we."

Aaahh. Great story. Tell him not to be embarrassed because we already knew all that stuff anyway! He's an awesome guy and we're glad you two got together and are such a great family.
I love your 'we' love story.
He's always seemed like a great guy but when he showed up to help us load our van, I got a glimpse at the kind of stuff he's made of. You two make a perfect "we" because you're both incredible people.
